Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On June 5, 2014, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee for the PPLUS Trust Series GSC-1 Trust (the “Trust”), issued two press releases regarding the receipt of a notice of exercise of the outstanding Warrants representing the right to acquire (a) 2,000,000 of the Class A Trust Certificates at an exercise price equal to $25 for each security being exercised plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the Exercise Date and (b) 2,000,000 of the Class B Trust Certificates at an exercise price equal to the sum of the present values, discounted at a rate of 6.345% per annum, of the unpaid distributions due, or to become due, in respect of the distributions to be made to the Class B Certificateholders by the Trust on or after the Exercise Date. The funds to pay the exercise price have been deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon as escrow agent. There is currently a tender offer for the securities held by the Trust (the “Tender Offer”). If the Tender Offer settles and the warrant agent receives notice thereof from the holder of the Warrants before July 7, the “Exercise Date” will be the date that funds are received in connection with the Tender Offer and the escrow agent receives notice thereof from the holder of the Warrants (or the next business day if notice is received after 1:00pm New York time), otherwise the “Exercise Date” will be July 7. A copy of each of the press releases is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
